Your Guide to Anything and Everything Boston

It's that time of year again, the Roxbury International Film Festival is back for their 14th year.

The Roxbury International Film Festival (RIFF) is taking place this year from Wednesday, June 13 thru Sunday, June 17. We have some wonderful international and local films that are screening this year including: Le Bonheur D'Elza directed and produced by Mariette Monpierre and set against the backdrop of Paris and Guadeloupe; SCARS which is presented by RIFF and The Boston Dance Alliance is about two well-known Cape Town dancers – Megan Erasmus and Celeste Botha, both mixed race – who trace their ancestry through dance and drama. SCARS kicks off the festival with a screening on Monday, June 4 as part of our annual partnership with The Coolidge Corner Theatre.

We're also really excited to have S. Epatha Merkerson, best known as 'Lt. Anita Van Buren' on "Law & Order" screen her directorial debut "The Contradictions of Fair Hope" (the festival's closing film) on Sunday, June 17 at the Museum of Fine Arts. Also, we have the the world premiere of the documentary "Paul Goodnight: A Prime Time Image Maker" based on Boston artist Paul Goodnight showing on Saturday, June 16.
